Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Namaste Aksha.Rudra, You are right about sharing information regarding rudraksha with people around us and that 99% of people ask what they can gain by wearing or worshipping rudraksha. Thank Shiva there is still the 1% left who knows that Shiva is with them and they accept whatever Shiva gives them. Great idea to plant rudraksha if someone has a garden or backyard. Those who perform periods of mantra sadhana will find that things change for the better within 90 days, sometimes less. Those who cannot be bothered about mantra sadhana and expect rudraksha to work like " magic bullets " (quoting Sola Ji here), will find they feel lost and can't find their way. Worshipping rudraksha each Monday (Shiva's day) will also help. Maintaining and conditioning rudrakshas at least every month or 3 months are also important. This can be done by washing the beads in gentle soapy water, rinsing with spring water then rose water. After that the beads can be left to dry for one or 2 days in warm climates but longer in cold, damp climates. When the beads are thoroughly dry, sandalwood essential oil can be mixed with a cold-pressed carrier oil (like almond) and applied to the beads with a soft toothbrush. Doing charity by gifting rudraksha to people who need it, is good dharma and seva. The giver of rudraksha gets great punya (merits). This is mentioned in one of the holy scriptures but I can't remember which one. Even by giving one bead each of 5 mukhi Lord Shiva Rudraksha to several people is a good way to begin. The recipients can be family, relatives, friends or colleagues. It can even be strangers at orphanages, hospitals, hospices and other places. Performing charity means that one is not expecting rewards other than the betterment of the people who receives the rudraksha. By the same token, giving to family, relatives, friends and colleagues, one should give unconditionally and never expect any return or favors. By not expecting things in return, one is truly giving. By expecting something in return, its called " exchange " .
